Beet tops

Anybody ever cook them? Do you just use the leaves or keep the stems attached? Any receipes? Thank You.

I just use the leaves. Boil them like spinach,drain salt and butter, mighty fine.

My grandmother used to fix them that way. I sure do miss her cooking. She used to do dandelion greens also. She was from iowa, but i think she was full of southern blood.

Yep. Good eats!

If ya plant your own, try planting em a little heavy, then go back and thin them out just when the roots start to get about the size of marbles and cook em with the baby beets still attached.

Sounds like a plan.
